Celebrations, creativity and sunshine fun after a brilliant SATs finish

This Week in Dina Asher-Smith Class:

  • Completed SATs with brilliant focus and resilience
  • Practised sprinting and technique outdoors in PE
  • Created stencil street art inspired by Banksy
  • Celebrated with a cinema trip and a game of rounders
  • Enjoyed sunshine and downtime after a hardworking term

Wow, what a week it’s been in Year 6!


After a lot of hard work, revision and determination, our Year 6’s have completed their SATs! We couldn’t be prouder of how everyone approached the tests — with focus, resilience and a positive attitude. Well done, Year 6 — you’ve shown just how ready you are for the next step!


But SATs weren’t the only thing happening this week…


In PE, we’ve been working on our sprinting skills. With the sun shining, we went to the field to practise our speed, stamina and technique. It was great to burn off some energy and have fun outdoors after our busy morning.


Art this term has focused on street art, inspired by Banksy. The children have spent weeks exploring the ideas behind street art and the power of visual messages and they finally put their learning into action by designing and creating their own stencil artworks.


To celebrate all the hard work this term, we ended the week with a much-deserved cinema trip on Friday morning followed by a game of rounders in the afternoon.
